The Death of an Army Deserter.

A handkerchief was placed over his eyes,
and ten men stepping out from the ranks took
up their position few feet distant from him,
leveled their guns at the unfortunate man and
awaited the signal to fire. Each man aimed
directly at the heart Of the condemned-de-
termined to make his death as easy as posi-
BILE. At the word nine muskets were dis
charged and nine bullets pierced his breast.
He fell forward upon his face, and the cur
rent of life that a moment before pulsated so
strongly through his veins ran out and GRIM
soned the white sands which lined the shore.
Nine muskets, say, were discharged. It Is q
merciful provision-merciful TO those who are
required TO execute the stern mandate Of
military law-thae always on these occasions
one gun is left unloaded, and the weapons
being drawn promiscuously by the firing
squad no one is able to tell whether he has
drawn the unloaded gun or not
A singular circumstance remains to be re-
lated a large white sea gull lowered around
the scene throughout the whole of the trying
ordeal-sailing in circles few feet above
the head of the condemned man during the
prayer and the reading Of the death warrant,
and after the fatal discharge had been fired
descending to the ground within short dis
tance Of the body. Picking a few grains Of
sand, ascending again and circiing around
the coffin, it finally Few away till lost TO

Dragons Bones" for Medicine.

In Europe fossil bones found together in
caves were long known as dragons bones and
accounted useful in medicine Indeed so
great was the demand for these and similar
relics that our museums and scientific men
have good cause to rejoice that their ances-
tors failed TO discover what stores of old bones
lay hidden in our own seaboard caves, as, for
instance, in that wonderful kirkdale cavern
where the mortal remains of several hundred
hyenas were found guarding the teeth of
baby mammoth, patriarchal tiger, rhinoc-
eros and a hippopotamus; or the caves along
the Norfolk coast where Hugh Miller tells us
that within thirteen years the oyster dredgers
dragged up the tusks and grinders of 500
mammoths; or those wonderful geological
cemeteries where the fossil bones of cave
lions, cave hyenas, elephants, mammoths,
hippopotami, woolly rhinoceri, red deer and
fallow deer, oxen, sheep and horses, have lain
so securely, stored for untold ages beneath
Charing Gross and Trafalgar square
After all, this reduction of prehistoric bones
and ivory to vulgar powders for medicinal
use is not more strange than the fossil food
which forms so large part of the daily bread
of multitudes of our fellow creatures in Lap
land, Finland, and Sweden, in Carolina and
Florida, on the banks of the Orinoco and Of
the Amazon, where vast tracts of earth are
found composed wholly of myriads of micro
scopic shells, and this strange mountain meal,
being duly mixed with meal of the Nineteenth
century, is freely eaten by the people In
Lapland alone hundreds Of wagonloads are
annually dug from one great field, and there
are men who eat as much as pound and a
half per diem of this curious condiment, We
hear of fields, as yet untouched, having been
discovered in Bohemia, Hungary, and other
parts of Europe; so perhaps we may ere long
add these primeval atoms to the delicacies Of
our own tables.-Nineteenth Century.

SEEN AT THE WINDOWS.
Some of the Shows by Which New York
Dealers Attract Passersby.

Some of the Shows by Which New York
Dealers Attract Passersby.
One of the marvels Of the metropolis is the
extent, variety and interest of its window
shows. No single feature of its novelties Is
more striking to the stranger. These displays
in still life are or endless variety, and list Of
the articles exposed to the casual gaze or
curious study of the passer by is a catalogue
Of all that the world can furnish in objects Of
beauty, utility and interest. Those whose
limited purses will not permit even a thought
Of purchasing can look without let or him
drance upon gems of the painters or the
sculptor's art-through the store windows
They can gloat upon the display of wealth in
ready money, precious metals, or jewels of
great price, at the same distance, so near and
yet so far They can enjoy the beauties Of
fine furniture, rich hangings and silk attire,
seen through the medium of polished plate
glass as clear as the air behind and before it.
OF course only small proportion of the
gazers are possible customers. The crowds
vary with the show. Men and boys gather
and linger around the windows, where neat
and pretty young women iron collars and
cuffs with ease and grace by laying them
under gas heated and regularly rolling iron
cylinder that takes the place of the smoothing
iron of the home laundry. The operation is
monotonous and uninteresting, but the girls
are the redeeming features of the show They
are bright eyed, sweet faced and trinity
dressed, and withal are not too busy to know
and appreciate the fact that they are being
admired. They even are able at times to
steal an answering glance Of decorous curios-
" or tbe ,Io H.
A Broadway window exhibit of cigarette
making was even more Interesting to the
men, both young and old. In fact, it had to
be given up because the crowds attracted by
1T were too great. In this case the girls were
not only attractive. but the skill and rapidity
with which they worked were positively fas-
cinating.
For the ladies, the most interesting displays
seem to be in the candy shop windows, and
this Is equally true of those that show the
manufactured article in q bewildering variety
of colors and favors, and those that give an
exhibition of some Of the processes of manu-
facture. The latter are sometimes SO in
teresting as to justify little attention from
the men, even those whose sweet tooth is not
developed beyond prediction for dash
of gum in their rum or taste for rock and
rye. The sight of brawny confectioner, in
his white cap and white coat, pulling candy
is one of these.
The flapjack browners in tho restaurant
windows arouse an equal and similar interest
with the candy men. These are the cases
where the effect of this style of advertising is
most immediate and readiest to be seen and
measured. To see the pancakes brown before
your eyes, to see them juggled until both
sides are done alike, to see them piled smok-
ing hot upon plate and carried off to some
waiting customer, is, like watching the candy
making, to make you want some, too.-New
York Sun.
